_____________
Sharon Browne announced today that George Donaldson suddenly passed away last night, March 12, 2014, of a massive heart attack. He was 46. He leaves behind his wife Carolyn and his 13 year old daughter Sarah.
George’s family & Celtic Thunder have all asked for privacy at this time. They are asking that you do not send sympathy cards to any of them; they cannot handle them right now. If you feel moved to, you may send a sympathy card to Carolyn & Sarah at this address:
℅ Celtic Thunder Limited
Priory House
19 Priory Hall
Stillorgan
Co Dublin
Ireland
Any cards received at this address will be forwarded on to George’s family.
If you do not want to mail a sympathy card, but would still like to express your condolences, memories, etc. of George, you may do so at Celtic Thunder’s memorial page.
If you would like to donate to a charity in George’s memory, Celtic Thunder sponsors a number of charities for you to choose from. You can find that list here.
UPDATE 3/15/14: If you would like to contribute to his daughter Sarah’s current & future education, you can do so here.
Rest in blessed peace, George. You are tremendously missed by your legions of fans.
My thoughts are with his wife & daughter during this horrific time.
